About: I have a lot of experience with taking care of different kinds of pets for as long as I can remember. I have a deep love and care for animals of all sizes and breeds. During my last two years of high school I under took courses of veterinary science and pet care so I learned many skills when it comes to caring and helping pets. I currently own one husky out of 5 huskies and 1 Boston terrier that me and my family have. I have learned so much about dogs throughout my years with them and love them dearly. I have also taken care of kittens and cats during my years of school and when asked to babysit or groom them from neighbors or family members. My world revolves around animals due to my deep care for them and my career choice. I make time for my pet needs and make sure they live a spoiled life. I understand the worry of any pet parent would have so I would be very open and willing to do anything they ask of me to care for their loved one. I too would want nothing but the best for my pet and I’m more than confident I can provide that for any pet parent!

About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats with a variety of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I enjoy making sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while their family is away. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication when needed, and plenty of attention and cuddles. I’m working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time of time to care for your pets! I’m available for boarding Friday-Sunday, and weekdays after 1pm I have a fenced in backyard and a friendly dog to keep your pets company. I can easily create your dog if need. At your home I’ll take care of all animals making sure they get the care they need and making sure they have fresh water and use the bathroom.

About: Pet care is almost second nature for me. I’ve been entrusted with caring for pets since I was a child and started taking it more seriously in my adulthood. Having furry friends to hang out with is truly the highlight of any day/week for me. I work in the restaurant biz, but I’m able to set my schedule for the most part, so taking on pet sitting gigs is easy for me. While I live in an apartment, it is VERY pet friendly. It has a dog washing station on my floor, as well as multiple pet play areas around the property. Inside your fur babies can enjoy spacious areas and easily accessible food an water station. And for the babies that like to feel the wind in their hair, I’ve got a balcony that looks over a portion of River Walk! I initiate play time and adhere to any specific walking and eating schedule your baby may have.

“Melissa was a lifesaver! We were already out of town when our planned pup-sitter had to unexpectedly cancel the morning of! I had never used Rover but had no other options and I’m just so glad I did! I requested an immediate visit and Melissa was right on it! Within the hour I had pics of my doggo living her best life and the text communication was beyond what I could’ve imagined. I was updated when she accepted our request, when she was on her way, multiple times while she was here during her 30 minute visit, and when she was heading out. I was so at peace knowing my girl was being loved on and taken care of even by a complete stranger who I just felt so comfortable with from the very beginning. Will absolutely request Melissa’s services again! So so grateful!”

About: While I’m new to professional pet sitting, I’m a responsible, dependable, and hardworking person who understands the importance of trusting someone with your home and pets. Growing up with a strong country and outdoor lifestyle has taught me responsibility, patience, and respect for animals. I will treat your pets and home with the same care and attention I would want someone to give mine. I’m also active and enjoy being outdoors, so I’m prepared to make sure dogs get the exercise, attention, and care they need. I pride myself on being trustworthy, communicating well, and following your specific instructions to give you peace of mind while you’re away. I’m a college student at Georgia Southern, so my day-to-day schedule is built around classes and studying. I have a fairly flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care for pets throughout the week. Availability: * Monday & Wednesday: Before 10 AM and after 5 PM * Tuesday & Thursday: Before 2 PM and after 6 PM * Friday: Very flexible — unavailable only from 10 AM to 3 PM This schedule allows me to provide reliable morning, afternoon, and evening care while staying consistent with your pet’s routine. I may be able to check in between classes depending on the situation. Your dog will be in a calm, comfortable, and caring environment where their normal routine is the priority. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide consistent attention, including feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and companionship based on your instructions. I understand that every dog has different needs, so I will work to keep them comfortable and maintain the routine they are used to while you’re away. Your home will also be treated with the same respect and care as if it were my own.

About: I’ve grew up with dogs, cats, birds.. you name it. I love all animals! That’s why this app is a perfect side job for me. 😊 (I also have also volunteered at an animal shelter for a bit when I was in high school). When I was younger me and my family raised German Sheppards and I would help out with taking care of them and getting them wormed, bathed, etc. I am currently only doing door dash right now, and occasionally taking care of my grandmother who is battling cancer, so I have a lot of down time! I can follow any special instructions you may have for me about your pet. 😊 I will make sure they are crated if need be, or if they have a special diet, I will make sure they get that!

About: As a lifelong animal lover and pet owner, I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. I have previous pet sitting experience through ........, caring for both dogs and cats with overnight stays and drop-in visits, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine and provide the care they need, whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, cuddles, or medication with instructions. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved until you’re back home. I work full-time during the week, so I’m available for evening drop-in visits and walks after work, as well as weekends. I understand the importance of consistency and will do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine whenever possible. My availability is updated regularly, and I’ll always communicate promptly about scheduling. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure fenced yard where dogs can safely play, and my friendly Husky, Yunaleska(Yuna Tuna), loves having canine companions. Because Yuna is not spayed, I require male dogs staying in my home to be neutered for everyone’s safety and comfort. My cats are accustomed to dogs and generally prefer to relax in their own space. I’ll follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any medication instructions. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, you’ll receive regular photo and message updates so you can relax knowing they’re safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I've had over 20 years of pet care experience, ranging between several different dog breeds and sizes, cats, rodents, reptiles, and even some bird-sitting. I understand each pet is different in their own way, some needing certain medications or volumes of food and water, and other pets are easier to take care of, but their owners need someone last minute to help watch and take care of their beloved pets. I also know when it comes to more than one pet in the household, some pets can get rowdy with each other and may tend to hurt one other, so I'm used to cleaning up after and treating the occasional bites or scratches they inflict. Having to give medications, give special food, and even seeing blood or recent wounds on animals doesn't stop me from providing the care they need while their owners are away at work or vacation or whatever else life has thrown their way. I've been known to be a reliable petsitter by many friends and family members over the years, and I make sure to follow all needs and specifications for each pet, regardless of their age and their size. At the moment, I am available all day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and then on Mondays and Wednesdays I am attending a class from 9:30 AM to 12:30 AM, which anytime before or afterwards I can help walk or watch over pets. While I do not currently offer petsitting at my own home due to my roommates, I understand that every owner's household and every pet is different. I make sure that each of the doors and windows are closed and locked for the pet's safety, unless otherwise specified by the owners. If there are certain rooms or parts of the house off-limits to myself or the pets, I keep us away from those areas for the owner's privacy. And if the pets do tend to make a mess or I use any of the utilities of the home to help clean and take care of the pets, I make sure that everything is turned off and cleaned up afterwards so there are no messes for the owners when they return to their home and beloved pets.

About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my dedication to providing exceptional care tailored to each dog's individual needs. I ensure that every furry friend is treated with the utmost love and care. My commitment to making a positive impact is reflected in the personalized experience I provide for each pet, ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well-behaved. I’m currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty of time to make pet care is a significant part of my daily routine. I make sure to incorporate time for walking, feeding, playtime. By dedicating regular slots in my day for pet care, I ensure that each furry friend receives the attention and care they deserve to thrive and be happy. It's a priority for me to make sure they feel loved and well-cared for every day! I won’t be doing in Home pet care, but I definitely will be doing it in the future. I will be updating once I decide.

About: I've had a Yorkie Terrier Mix (Tico) since I was about eight years old and would consistently take care of him while home. My tasks consist of frequent walks to ensure fitness, meals twice a day, a snack or two if he's being good, and making sure he looks handsome and is clean. I would also frequently take care of local friends pets and homes while away on vacation! I grew up taking of my dog Tico since I was about 8 years old and have taken up that responsibility since then! Ever since moving away I’ve missed getting to spend time with furbabies! If hired for services, I will ensure that I will take care of your home and pet as I would mine. I know as a furry friend lover myself, I want to make sure my pet is not only safe but happy while being taken care of.

About: I love all animals and my biggest goal is the give you and your dog an OUTSTANDING Rover experience. I will talk to your furry friend, play with them, walk them, and provide any additional care as necessary. I am here to make your life easier and your dogs life worth woofing about! I don’t have my own pooch right now, but with Rover, I am able to get all the face licks and wiggles of joy I need, all while helping others and making some extra cash. Loving what you do directly correlates with the quality of service provided - I love what I do and nothing in life is more important than that. I currently work full time Monday-Friday with an hour lunch break. I can sleep over your place, give your pet all the cuddles they need, and come for the afternoon walkie! (If close enough to my work/if they need it) I go to clients homes, am able to spend the night with your pets, do their morning routine, and come as needed in the afternoon during my lunch break.

About: I grew up around pets my as a child and have owned dogs for 32 years of all sizes and types. I have always been the go to person for everyone to care for their pets and i love it. I have no problem feeding, bathing, training or walking your pet as if it were my own. Our pets are our children as well and we need to care for them the best way we can. I am self employed and work my own schedule so I can care for your pet Friday -Tuesdays 9am-3pm. Different days or later hours can be arranged with at least a weeks notice. I have a fenced yard and can Kennel the dog if needed but for the most part I prefer for them to get a feel of my home and my rules.
